Old Joe Wilson

Wilson is a partisan hack. IIRC Niger has two main exports, uranium and oil. To that I would add Niger is the worlds largest exporter of forged documents. That is why it is bizarre that any documents originating from there would not be immediately suspect.

At any rate, when the Iraqis make overtures to create a trade agreement, it was pretty obvious that Hussein wasn’t looking to buy oil.
Whereas Plame is a state sponsored whore, Wilson is a ideological vigilante with a book deal. Not much of secret anymore.
